Yet another really awesome episode of the Nerdist podcast, with all of the comedy and fun the comes with a particularly funny guest. Shame Jonah Ray couldn’t be there. I wish him well in his endeavours. Eddie Pepitone was really great. Would love to see him on Talking Bad!

@Wildcat: what’s funny is I don’t remember him saying that. I’m sure he was picturing Peter GABRIEL in his head. I can’t think of two more disparate artists, but I would like to hear Frampton’s version of “Shock the Monkey” and Gabriel saying “Do you FEEL goooooood” through a talk box.

Trainspotting and Better Off Dead… Grosse Pointe Blank… mmmm… probably most things with John Cusak.

Eddie would make a pretty good stand-in for The New Doctor’s old character from “In The Loop”, half mad trying to keep the world from splitting in two. Have that rage slow-boil to an explosive crescendo and tear the movie apart in the end, set, wardrobe, 4th wall, all of it. Monty Python style. That’d be tits.

Found the history/LA talk interesting, especially the theory that it’s hard to see the history as the city formed in a rushed, organic, unplanned way.
As someone from the side of the world that was annihilated and rebuilt by Vikings based vaguely around water/trading, I find American cities are too well planned out to feel historic/’cultural’ (in a European sense). Nothing beats driving down a road originally built for horses and having to take a hairpin bend around the ruins of an old house etc.

That said, America has the disadvantage of being newer. And I really loved Hollwyood when I visited and enjoyed the history/culture.
